In 2000, Peter Ward and Donald Brownlee advanced the Rare Earth theory, suggesting that complex life such as exists on Earth is rare but microbial life is common.

I've always thought that was the reality. Not so much that life would be rare, but more that higher forms of life would be very uncommon if they existed at all.
